I laugh. "Don't play with me. You not killing my baby." She looks away from me bouncing her leg up then down. "I'm talking to you." I grab her face. She sniffs pulling away from me. Getting frustrated with everything I stand up hearing her mumble something under her breath. "If you got something ta say, say that shit."

"I said you in here acting like you'd be so hurt but you made me get an abortion two years ago. So now you ready? You puttin' on a show for who exactly?" I clench my jaw. "I was seventeen Vanessa."

"And?" Tears fall down her face. "You dropped me off at a clinic and you didn't even stay with me. I called you and you didn't answer my phone calls after that for weeks. You can threaten me all you want but I'm not gonna allow you to control what I want. This is my decision."

"It's our decision that's my baby right?"  She laughs wiping her face. "Are you serious Lexus? You know it is."

"Do I?" I ask trying to piss her off. She bites her lip covering her face with her hands telling me to get out. "You told me you was gonna fuck your ex right?" I ask knowing Vanessa's been faithful to me. I'm only saying this to get under her skin, we both know she would be the last person to do me dirty. "Now you quiet?"

"If you believe that then leave me alone. Get out, p-please." Without hesitation I leave. If she wants to abort my baby imma cut her out of my life and we can go our separate ways. The bitch don't deserve me no way.

Lexus storms out of the room leaving me by myself. I know he knows this is his baby and it's ridiculous how he's acting but this is how a teenager would act. That's my fault. The doctor walks back into the room with a sympathetic look on his face. "Alright so we ran some tests, everything's perfectly fine and the ultrasound looked wonderful. The bad cramping and pain you were feeling was due to your body transitioning into your third trimester and your uterus was most likely stretching. Bleeding is perfectly normal but in your case it was excessive so if you decided you want to go full term I would most likely put you on bed rest. As I stated earlier you having this baby is fifty fifty, you're a tiny person so the baby is significantly much smalller than it should be at this point because you haven't been on any prenatals or taking care of yourself properly." He says going over my chart. "Um do you have any questions so far?"

"You said third trimester? Did I hear you correct?"

"Yes you're almost twenty six weeks pregnant so you're right around the corner from your third trimester. Now what I do want to touch base on with you is termination of the pregnancy because the cut off is soon." I nod. "Thanks we'll talk about it.."

"Sounds good. Here's a few support lines if you feel you need to talk to somebody other than family or your spouse. Since everything looks normal I'll let you go." I nod not eager to get released, everything of mine is at Lexus' house including my money. "Are you sure I can be released?"

"I don't see why not? Is there anything else bothering you?"

"No sir, thank you." I sigh. "Is there a telephone I can use?"

"Sure. It's right down that hall just let me get a nurse to wheel you down there." I wait a couple of minutes for the nurse to bring me to the phone in the hallway. Once she brings me I call my dad hoping he'll answer the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey dad it's Vanessa. I lost my purse and I really need a hotel for the night." The line stays silent for awhile making me think he hung up. "Hello? Dad?"

"Yeah. Im here. I'll get you a room."

"Thank you." I sigh in relief. He books a hotel for me near the hospital without asking any questions. "Alright. I gotta get back to work."

"Okay.. I love you." The phone disconnects so I allow the nurse to wheel me back to the room so I can sign my release forms. I slowly change my clothes feeling small pains. I close my eyes as I bend over to put on my shoes. Looking in the mirror I turn sideways not believing there's an actual baby inside of me. "Lord." I mumble. "Ready?" The nurse asks. Nodding my head I ease into the wheelchair. "You excited?" She asks trying to make small talk. "Uh" I shrug not exactly wanting to say I'm not. "It's-it's a surprise." I smile. "I don't know how to feel."

"Oh well that's normal for new mom's. You'll get all mushy when you see the baby through ultrasound." She laughs as we get on the elevator. "Do you have a ride coming to pick you up?"

"Oh yeah." I mumble pulling up the directions to the hotel. Fifteen minutes walking distance. "Yeah, someone's coming." I lie. "You have kids?" I ask.

"I have one. He was a surprise like the kind of surprise I didn't know if I wanted to keep but I did and I'm so happy I did. When nobody else is there for you, you can say my child is here and raising a child isn't easy by any means but I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world." I look down at my stomach taking in what she's saying. Maybe having a baby wouldn't be that bad after all. "Alright do you need me to stay with you until your ride comes?" She asks pushing me out onto the concrete. "No thank you. They should be here any second." I watch her go back in the hospital and I wait a couple minutes until I get out of the wheelchair and I begin to walk.

"Why you actin' all shy?" I ask who I just learned her name to be Masika. "I'm not shy. I was under the impression your girl was here also."

"Does it matter?" I ask feeling the affects of the weed and Hennessy. I smirk at her while I look at her figure through hooded eyes. "I'm tryna have some fun. You down?" I lick my lips. She straddles my lap grinding up against me. "I'm down.." I turn my head allowing her to kiss me everywhere but my mouth hoping she'll throw me some neck. She raises her dress up revealing she ain't have no panties on and takes my dick out my pants. "Hol' up." I mumble leaning over to get a condom out the drawer. I roll it on and she sits on it no warning. "Shit." I mumble having flashbacks of the three some we just had. I lay back on the bed allowing her to do what she clearly does best feeling not a ounce of guilt. Vanessa wants to do whatever the hell she wants so will I because I know in the end it's gonna be her feelings that'll be hurt more.
